Episode 2 Recap
--Max Pacioretty is unhappy. The Canadiens captain laid into his team during a poor effort against Dallas in which the team lost 6-2 amid its losing streak. F-bombs were everywhere.
--Adam McQuaid is tough. The Bruins defenseman took a puck to the chin against the Penguins during last week's episode and received 12 stitches to close it up before returning.
--Brendan Gallagher has a man crush on Andy Dalton. The injured Canadiens forward face-timed the Bengals quarterback and pretty much fan-girled out.
--Jimmy Hayes' dad is creative. The Bruins forward has a brother, Kevin, who plays for the Rangers, so their father, Kevin Sr. stitched a Bruins and Rangers jersey together with 'Hayes' on the back.
